who of course posed no threat to the officers or others. the crime being investigated according to the reports involved a misdemeanor. here is oakland police department's version of the exact same event. oakland police say "officers moved through the interior of the residence and encountered a sleeping toddler and immediately recognized that no threat existed and continued their search and ultimately ensured the child was united with a caregiver. at no time did officers intentionally target the child or hold them at gunpoint." federal court monitor had to be appointed as a result of the case back in 2000 where officers were found guilty of brutality and planting evidence and this case will go on. live in oakland, terry, mcsweeney, nbc bay area news. >> story that's crazy beyond belie belief. christina loren is out at the ferry building in san francisco. christina loren, how is it? we're not doing christina loren
